cold day
snow on the seawall

cold day
snow on the seawall
by Lake Michigan
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again
As the sun spills
Over flowers
And the neighborhood
Sleeps
Endurance is eloquent
And marigolds are
Admirable because
They bloom
So long
Oh, my heart
Is tender
Yet God keeps it
Strong
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again

Wendy Brightbill is a wonderful artist. This poem was inspired by one of her paintings. I discovered her work years ago, from her blog.
